MIDDLE East destination Dubai has secured the bid to host the 2015 International Dragon Award Meeting (2015 IDA Annual Meeting), which will take place from August 22 to 25 next year.
The IDA Annual Meeting, which will be held at the Dubai International Convention & Exhibition Center, is an international Chinese life insurance and financial services industry event recognising top insurance and financial professionals.
“The reason to choose Dubai is not only because it is one of the most attractive tourism destinations, but also (because it) has a state-of-the-art business and convention centre, which is equipped with the latest facilities. There is confidence that Dubai’s accessibility in terms of airlift, the number of well-designed hotels, and the highest quality service standards will make the 2015 IDA Annual Meeting a successful business event,” said Richard Wu, chairman of the Worldwide Chinese Life Insurance Congress that organises the event.
Steen Jakobsen, director of Dubai Business Events – the Official Convention Bureau, commented: “We are honoured that Dubai was selected as the first city outside of Asia to host the International Dragon Award 2015 event, and we are very much looking forward to showcasing this remarkable city to the thousands of delegates who will be attending.
“China is an increasingly important market for Dubai, which is particularly well suited for Chinese visitors thanks to its high standards of hospitality and vast array of leisure attractions which include some of the best hotels and shopping malls in the world,” Jakobsen added.
